Ingredients

  • Steak: 8 ounces 227 grams
  • Whole wheat tortillas: 2
  • Black beans: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Brown rice cooked: 1 cup (185 grams)
  • Red bell peppers sliced: 1/2 cup (75 grams)
  • Onions sliced: 1/2 cup (75 grams)
  • Avocado sliced: 1
  • Low-fat Greek yogurt: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Fresh cilantro chopped: A handful
  • Lime for zest and juice: 1
  • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon 15 ml
  • Seasonings: Salt pepper, garlic powder, and cumin – to taste

Instructions

Prep the Steak:

  • First, season your steak generously with salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder.
  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.

Veggie Time:

  • In the same skillet, toss in the onions and red bell peppers.
  • Sauté them until they’re tender and have a slight char, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the Protein-Packed Steak Burrito:
  • Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds.
  • Spread a tablespoon of Greek yogurt on each tortilla.
  • Layer with half of the brown rice, black beans, veggies, and juicy steak strips.
  • Top with avocado slices, sprinkle some fresh cilantro, and zest some lime over the top.
  • Roll the tortilla, folding in the sides as you go, ensuring everything is snugly wrapped up inside.
